Following a code of ethics as we seek to bring others to faith in Jesus Christ helps us be more effective witnesses for God.
1. As Christians called by the living God, we seek first of all to honor him and his ethical standards in all of our private and public lives, including our efforts to persuade others to believe in the good news about Jesus Christ.
2. As Christian evangelists [nurses], we seek to follow the mandate, motives, message and model of our God, who is always pursuing and reclaiming those who are lost in sin and rebellion against him.
3. We believe all people are created in God's image and therefore endowed with the capacity to be in relationship with their Creator and Redeemer. We disavow any efforts to influence people that depersonalize or deprive them of their inherent value as persons.
4. Respecting the value of persons, we believe all people worthy of hearing the gospel of this loving Lord, Jesus Christ. We equally affirm the inalienable right of every person to survey other options and convert to or choose a different belief system.
5. We believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and affirm the role and goal of the Christian evangelist. However, we do not believe that this justifies any means to fulfill that end. Hence, we disavow the use of any coercive techniques or manipulative appeals that bypass a person's critical faculties, play on psychological weaknesses, undermine relationship with family or religious institutions, or mask the true nature of Christian conversion.
6. While respecting the individual integrity, intellectual honesty and academic freedom of other believers and skeptics, we seek to proclaim Christ openly. We reveal our own identity and purpose, our theological positions and sources of information, and we will not be intentionally misleading. Respect for human integrity means no false advertising, no personal aggrandizement from successfully persuading others to follow Jesus, and no overly emotional appeals that minimize reason and evidence.
7. As Christian evangelists, we seek to embrace people of other religious persuasions in true dialogue. That is, we acknowledge our common humanity as equally sinful, equally needy and equally dependent on the grace of God we proclaim. We seek to listen sensitively in order to understand and thus to divest our witness of any stereotypes or fixed formulas that are barriers to true dialogue.
8. As Christian evangelists, we accept the obligation to admonish one who represents the Christian faith in any manner incompatible with these ethical guidelines.

As Nancy cared for her patient who had received a somatic stem cell transplant to repair heart muscle damage to the left ventricle, she marveled at this new treatment for those suffering severe muscle damage and cardiac insufficiency after myocardial infarction. The transplant unit had become quite busy caring for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation procedures, as new cures for common diseases and trauma were made available. She wondered what malady stem cell transplants would cure next.]]>Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:08:42 GMT-05:0000005217-200710000-00003http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2003/11000/HUMAN_CLONING__Investigating_the_Issues_.7.aspx

ABSTRACT: Although ethics is often thought of in terms of "life-and-death" matters, many everyday situations involve ethics. Human dignity, a more recent way of expressing the belief that humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26), captures the controversial notion that all humans are uniquely valuable and ought to be esteemed highly. Nurses have great opportunity to promote or demote dignity. A Christian holistic approach to ethics, exemplified by the narrative of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37), acknowledges the difficulty of always being ethical and integrates feeling, thinking, acting, and spirituality.]]>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:04:58 GMT-05:0000005217-201103000-00008http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2010/07000/Encouraging_Academic_Honesty__A_Nursing_Imperative.18.aspx
Academic dishonesty, whether intentional cheating or plagiarism, or unintentional sharing of work or confusion about referencing, is nothing new to the college environment but is especially disturbing within nursing. The integrity of the nursing profession may, in fact, be jeopardized as students with the habit of cheating graduate and enter the field. This article discusses how educators, students, university administration, and nurses in practice can discourage cheating and plagiarism and promote honesty.]]>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:09:39 GMT-05:0000005217-201007000-00018http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2010/04000/Promoting_Ethical_Development_in_Nursing_Education.14.aspx
Ethical nursing practice can be referred to as doing what is best for those who are the recipient of one's services, according to the recipient. However, clear-cut lines of what is and is not in the best interest of the patient can become blurred. Nurses often encounter situations that require them to use ethical judgment. This article discusses how ethical decision making can be developed in students, new graduates, and nurses in practice.]]>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:11:26 GMT-05:0000005217-201004000-00014http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2010/04000/Practice_Against_Our_Beliefs.16.aspx

The experience of a family and nurse who shared the acute illness of a teenager illustrates advocacy for family presence in the ICU and during resuscitation as well as integration of spiritual care in complex nursing practice. Family participation supports physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, allowing for open communication and the comfort of knowing that a loved one is receiving care. Although critical care, heart, and emergency nursing associations support family presence and holistic care, family presence remains controversial.]]>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:14:44 GMT-05:0000005217-201001000-00014http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2011/12000/Unexpected_Lessons_in_Unexpected_Places.14.aspx

Abstract: Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world. Healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to discover individuals who are trafficked and intervene.

Abstract: Communicating appreciation to staff is critical in healthcare settings today. Five specific Languages of Appreciation have been identified that can be communicated in individualized ways in the workplace to affirm, encourage, mediate stress, and improve employee morale. In tight budget environments, such an employee recognition program doesn't require financial resources or a line item in the budget.]]>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 12:49:46 GMT-06:0000005217-201209000-00009http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2013/06000/Code_Blue__A_Family_Matter_.14.aspx

Abstract: Advances in technology and medical knowledge have dramatically altered our ability to sustain life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Many things come into play for the nurse when establishing patient goals, respecting patient's wishes, and valuing spiritual and cultural beliefs in end-of-life care. A veteran ICU nurse shares the challenges of caring and how she copes when medical interventions seem futile.]]>Thu, 16 Apr 2015 17:42:26 GMT-05:0000005217-201504000-00010http://journals.lww.com/journalofchristiannursing/Fulltext/2015/04000/Prolonged_Life_or_Prolonged_Illness__Helping.11.aspx
